About

SATToSE is the Seminar Series on Advanced Techniques & Tools for Software Evolution. Its 9th edition takes place in Bergen (Norway) on 11–13 July 2016. Past editions of SATToSE saw presentations on software visualisation techniques, tools for co-evolving various software artefacts, their consistency management, runtime adaptability and context-awareness, as well as empirical results about software evolution.

The goal of SATToSE is to gather both undergraduate and graduate students to showcase their research, exchange ideas, improve their communication skills, attend and contribute technology showdown and hackathons.

Hackathon

This year's hackathon will expose participants to tools, methods and data obtained with the MetricsGrimoire toolset, a mature, industrial-strength toolset to obtain data from software repositories, that is available as free software/open source and developed together with a lively community. The Metrics-Grimoire toolset is the results of over a decade of development, and since 2013, after the creation of Bitergia, the technological basis of a start-up that offers and sells results and analysis to free/open source software companies and communities.

Social Events

Pre-event: We'll organise a traditional Sunday mountain hike the day before SATToSE, which will give you the opportunity to enjoy the view from Bergen's mountains and experience a genuine Norwegian “søndagstur” (Sunday walk). (We'll have suitable options for people who are in less-than-perfect shape.)

Monday: TBA. Hackathon in the evening.

Tuesday: main dinner: There will be a banquet at Hotel Grand Terminus. In addition to delicious food, the hotel also has a well-stocked whisky bar.

Post-event: We're planning a day-trip to the fjords on Thursday (July 14th), most likely following the classic Norway in a Nutshell itinerary. There is a separate registration for this excursion – Sign up here!
